I’m Dayane Moreira Cardoso, a Computer Science student with big dreams in tech and healthcare. I moved to the U.S. from Brazil as an au pair and faced tons of challenges adjusting to a new life, but each one just made me more determined. I’m the first in my family to go to college, and I’m all about using my education to make a positive impact, especially in health tech. I started my career as a teacher in Brazil and have always been curious about tech. Playing around with The Sims and modding the game sparked my interest in coding. Now, I’m all in on becoming a software engineer. My big goal? Developing tech solutions that improve lives and, who knows, maybe even finding a cure for something one day. I’m super motivated, with clear goals for the future, like getting a PhD, building a career in tech, and traveling the world. I believe that with my determination and passion for learning, I can inspire other women to join tech and make a difference too!
